YIELD OF GRAIN DISAPPOINTING

WHITE CO. REPORTS SHOW HALF OF WHEAT AND OATS CROP DAMAGED. / [By P. R. Bausman, White County Agent.] Monticello, July 19.—1 f anyone has the idea that farmers are lying easy on a bed of roses and waxing fat while their bank account is growing by leaps and bounds, they should take a trip through the country and talk to a few farmers now. A few weeks ago a great many farmers were planning how they would spend the money from a bumper crop of wheat and oats, and now they find at threshing time that they have only a very ordinary yield and that of poor quality. A survey conducted in White county by the United States department of agriculture recently showed 20 per cent of wheat heads infected with scab, 5 per cent of wheat heads had been destroyed by loose smut, 25 per cent of all wheat plants and 50 per cent of all oats plants were infected with leaf rust and 6 per cent of untreated oats was destroyed by smut. All this along with heat and dry weather. Is it any wonder that the yield is low and the quality poor? There is no doubt that this year, as usual, some newspaper will publish the story of some man whose wheat made 40 bushels per acre, or whose oats made 80 bushels per acre, and the average city man, as usual, will form his opinion of farming operations in general on the basis of those figures. But don’t get fooled, Mr. City Man, for every farmer who has a yield like that there are a hundred who didn’t get 'half that much and their story is never published.

BLAMES PERSHING FOR CRUELTIES

IJ. BECKMAN DECLARES ARMY I HEAD TO BLAME FOR MILITARY POLICE ACTS. James W. Beckman, sbn of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Beckmln, of this city,, and a former sergeant-major in the American army overseas, in writing a series of articles for the New York’ Globe charges General Pershing and Brig. Gen. Hart with being . responsible for the cruelties of the military police, and asserts that the two officers should be tried. The following charges of Mr. Beckman appeared under a Washington date line in the Chicago Tribune Sunday; Washington, D. C., July 19.—*-Gen. Pershing and «Brig. Gen. Hart, officers in charge of the American military • administration in Paris, should be brought to trial for the alleged brutal treatment of American soldiers in France by the military police,’ James W. Beckman, New York, former sergeant major, today charged in a letter to Representative Dallinger, Massachusetts. “General Pershing should be brought to trial for gross incompetence and negligence that amounts to .criminality,” Beckman wrote, “because the crimes of the Paris military police were committed right under his nose, and there is no excuse .or defense which he cam make for not having known of them and for not having them stopped, and because similar atrocities were the rule at several other places in France.' “Some of these cases involve General Pershing directly and others indirectly as commander in chief of the A. E. F., responsible for the hideous Prussion system which he permitted to develop and to disgrace the good name of America and American democracy in the eyes of the world.” IBeckman urges that Brig. Gen. Hart, who, he sayS, was President Wilson’s former aid, be brought to trial on the charge of manslaughter, as he is responsible for the crimes which were committed over a period of a year or more under his mand“I have the evidence to prove each case," Beckman concluded.
